YouTube Data Hider — Privacy Policy

Formerly “Youtube date hider” · Last updated: November 1, 2026

In short: YouTube Data Hider collects nothing. No personal data, no browsing history, no analytics, no tracking. Nothing is ever sent to the developer or to anyone else.

What the extension does

YouTube Data Hider hides statistics you choose (publication dates, views, likes, subscribers, durations, comment counts, game plays, notification count) on YouTube pages. All of this happens locally, inside your browser.

Data we collect

None. The extension does not collect, store, transmit or sell any personal or sensitive information. It has no servers and makes no network requests.

Data stored on your device

Only your settings (which statistics to hide, remove or blur mode, on/off switch) are saved with Chrome’s storage API. If Chrome sync is enabled in your browser, Chrome may sync these settings between your own devices through your Google account. The developer has no access to them. Uninstalling the extension deletes them.

Permissions

storage: to remember your settings.
Access to YouTube pages (youtube.com, m.youtube.com, music.youtube.com, youtube-nocookie.com): to find and hide the statistics you selected. The extension does not read or keep your activity on these pages.

Third parties

No data is shared with, or sold to, any third party. The extension is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date.
